Bella:
I couldn't stop pacing.

Edward had watched me pace back and forth.

I wasn't angry…

But I wasn't happy either.

"We can just go to Las Vegas, Bella…" He whispered from the bed. I shook my head.

"We can't just go to Las Vegas, Edward. There's Charlie, and your family…and Alice."

He sighed.

"I want you to be happy."

"I will be happy…" I said.

Would I?

Edward pulled me into his arms in one fluid moment and kissed me.

"Will you be happy?"

All thoughts left my mind, and I was gazing into Edward's eyes.

I was melting.

"Yes." I murmured.

Anywhere Edward was, as long as I was there—I would be happy.

Edward nodded. Perhaps he was happy that there wouldn't be a fight. There wouldn't be tears or anger. Just my perfect wall giving into him.

"I can talk to Alice." He began, but I shook my head. "No…there is no need to talk to her, Edward."

"It's not right that she force you…"

"She didn't. I just…knew that she was right." I began. "I knew that I couldn't deny Charlie, or your family…or you… or even myself…though, you know I would be perfectly fine with a drive-thru marriage."

He laughed and nodded. "I know."

I tried to imagine myself in Edward's car, pulling up to an intercom, asking for a marriage. And then…Edward driving to a hotel…where…

I blushed.

Bright Red.

Edward must have known what I was thinking about.

"I love how you blush now." He murmured, kissing me.

"You look so beautiful."

I couldn't help myself. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. Everything was different…everything changed since we…

The world looked different.

Perhaps I looked different.

I felt different.

"We'll go through with the marriage the correct way." I whispered against his lips between kissing him and breathing.

"I want to."

"Alright." He whispered, pushing me away—trying to gain control.

"I have a dress, the invites are out…things are being taken care of by Alice…I suppose we just wait." Edward nodded.

"Until August 13th."

August 13th.

What a count down that would be.

It was a month away.

"Come and lay in bed with me?" He murmured against my lips, brushing my hair out of my face. I nodded and followed him underneath the blankets, where he held me until I fell asleep.
